The world still gets about 80% of its energy from fossil fuels today which generate the lions share of emissions. According to the EIA , in 2017, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from burning fossil fuels for energy were equal to about 76% of total U.S. We continue to burn fossil fuels at a prodigious rate.
